Wyllie has illustrated three different events of the Battle.
In the centre VICTORY has past through the French and

stuck and is fighting both the French ships FOUGUEX
and REDOUBTABLE. Beyond this the rest of Nelson’s
column can be seen coming up still under full sail.
To the left just behind the EURYALUS is
Admiral Collingwood’s ROYAL SOVERIGN, along
side her is the dismasted SANTA ANNA.
Illustrated on the right is the tangled mess of BUCENTAURE
and LEVIATHAN with British boats taking in survivors.
